Hi all,
Back with the latest saga in my changing line!
After going for months and months (December 2008) with good results for my line (Attenuation 51) things have taken a turn for the worse lately
After lots of error/noise bursts my line went from syncing around 5500 > 3500.
Target SNR in Dec. was 6 - now 12db.
In the last couple of days things might be on the up!
When the line was syncing around 3500 which is low for a 12db Target SNR line of my length I noticed the router (Speedtouch 585v6) reported a lower than normal
Output Power.
I turn on all my kit in the morning.
When I see 18.5 dBm Output Power(down) I know it's going to be a bumpy day!
It has been like that since a stormy day a week ago Friday.
Yesterday it returned to 19.5 dBm and sync'd at 39xx and today it's still 19.5 and synced at 4096
Chicken or Egg? So is my Output Power higher due to my line being healthier OR is my line healthier as the Output Power has risen?
Any ideas on what's been happening?
For those that haven't seen my previous posts - my wiring is all optimised and I have a swapped my trusty 585 for another from my collection just in case.
Kitz has mentioned Output Power in a couple of other interesting posts here but I'm looking for more info if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance as always.
(NB. I asked my ISP Freeola/Enta for help the other week when I saw my Target SNR being trashed but didn't really get anywhere. It was left with possible problems caused by tree branches.)
